Overview
We are currently in the middle of the largest vaccination effort that the world has ever seen. Scientists have never worked faster and harder to produce a safe, effective vaccine as they did for COVID-19.

Our partners have used Viamo’s suite of solutions to provide communities with timely health information, train medical professionals, send vaccination reminders and so much more.
